Today is a regular bell schedule

Good morning Explorers, let's remember to have La Joya PRIDE in everything we do!

STUDENT ANNOUNCEMENTS


*Pizza Sales
ASB is selling pizza today, $2 a slice and $1 for a water.

*Ark Week
Today is pledge to be kind day. Throughout the week we will have a graffiti wall, which you can go up and put kind words or actions on. Also, we will have the pledge to be kind, so make sure to go up and sign your name to pledge to be kind. We will also have a kindness sheet, which is like a scavenger hunt of kindness.

*Attention Students
Please do not have items handed to you through our fence, including lunches.  All deliveries for students must be made through the front office.  Thank you for your cooperation and helping us to ensure a safe campus.

*There will be no school on Monday, November 12th in observance of Veterans Day.

*La Joya Middle School is participating in Pennies for Patients to help raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). By participating in this campaign, La Joya can support LLS directly by raising money to help find a cure for diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myeloma. Additionally, the funds help improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

The fundraiser will run from October 25 through November 9. All we need to do is for each one of us it to bring in any spare change and fill the boxes located in each classroom during the first period. The first-period class that raises the most money will win a donut party.

There is still time to collect more donations for your first-period class to win a doughnut party. The deadline for donations is November 9.
Please let me know if you have any donations in your classroom.
*We are looking for La Joya's top twenty 7th grade and top 8th grade spellers, for a school wide spelling Bee. Pick up the list of 100 words for your grade from an English teacher, or see Mrs. Allen in room 503.

*Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament?
Students, are you a pro at Rock, Paper, Scissors? Would you like to demonstrate your pro skills for a chance to win a Starbucks gift card? Well, that thought is going to be a reality for several students next Friday, the 16th, during the Fun Friday lunch. We will be holding a free raffle for a chance for several students to compete against each other in rounds of "best out of 3" to determine the final champion. Tickets will be available for students during both lunches. Be sure to put your name in the raffle, to make sure you are chosen for the Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament. Good luck!
